Notes

Used only in Lieven's Discovery subtitles:

Dat butbogh Dochmey, yInbogh qa' je jemlaH vay'.
"Everywhere you go, you can feel the symbiosis between nature and the living spirit."
(DSC/sub "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum")

Apparently it's the opposite of pargh " be synthetic, artificial" (qepHom 2017):

DaHjaj Soj pargh wISopnISbe'ba', Sogh.
"There will be no synthetic protein rations tonight, Lieutenant."
(DSC/sub "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum")

CULTURAL NOTES:

(KGT 84):  All food is considered to be good in its natural state; it takes the intervention of a cook to ruin it. Thus, the word 'eyHa', used to describe food that is edible but is not particularly tasty, means something like "undelicious", implying that someone caused it to cease being delicious. ... On the other hand, one may simply use the word 'up ("disgusting, repugnant").

(KGT 92f.)  There is an alternate way of preparing quD [a type of sauce] that involves using chemicals to do the job of the animal's stomach enzymes. Klingon gourmets distinguish between the two by referring to quD made in the natural way as burgh quD (stomach quD), as opposed to the artificially produced 'un quD (pot quD). Though nutritionally identical, burgh quD, when available, is always preferable to 'un quD.
